    GGG won. Jacobs lost. It was a good fight. props to both. would not mind seeing a rematch as both will want to prove something.

    This is why that fight is so intriguing, is it a case of Wlad not knowing when to quit or Joshua's hype train being derailed? I'm leaning toward Wlad by stoppage, Joshua has barely been hit back yet, and when he was caught by Whyte he looked shaky. Nor does he possess the awkward slipperiness of Fury, I can see Wlad landing fairly frequently and stopping Joshua.

    If Wlad really is as shot as he looked vs Fury, then AJ will make the retiring decision for him. If Wlad can't perform vs AJ he will receive an almighty beating.

    I tend to agree.

    Rung won and GGG loss.

    Rung deserved his win GGG got bailed out by the judges.

    I thought Rungvisai won and Golovkin won, so **** HBO and Boxnation.

    I watched both those fights on Boxnation and had both Chocolito and GGG winning.

    116-111 Golovkin for me (on fightnight I scored it 115-112 Golovkin). Haven't wachted the Gonzales fight in HD yet

    But it was obviously with your posting history that you are thinking Jacobs was robbed

    I watched it on Box nation and had Gonzalez winning and GGG vs Jacobs I thought 6 rounds a piece was probably the fairest score. Many hard rounds to score.

    I agree that HBO are more likely to be biased than Boxnation for obvious reasons. A lot of fans are the same too, they will side with the guy they have been lauding. Sometimes they will subconsciously notice the good things that their guy is doing more. Sometimes people will see what they were expecting to see.

    I had Jacobs winning. Watched the Choco fight but didn't score it so can't really comment on that yet. Both were competitive fights though so people can just have different opinions about what the results should have been without anybody actually being wrong. Scoring is subjective.

    HBO has always been biased toward black fighters. So them having GGG winning isn't anything new.

    hbo can be very partisan but the majority of press and forum posters had GGG winning as did the punch stats

    I get your point but I think your pushing something that isn't there

    It wasn't that bad. And if anyone should be blamed for the lack of action it should be Wladimir. He was content with getting out boxed for 11 rounds.
